🚖 CyberTaxi: Lunatic Nights – A Dark-Noir Taxi Combat Ride Through Prison City

Get ready to hit the gas, lock and load, and drive straight into chaos—CyberTaxi: Lunatic Nights has arrived in Early Access on PC (Steam)! Developed and published by Hed Media Games, this indie gem blends the thrill of high-speed taxi driving with first-person combat, all set in the gritty streets of a dystopian nightmare known as Prison City.


A city where shadows hide danger, every corner hums with neon menace, and justice is just another word whispered in smoke-filled alleys. In this world, you’re not just a cab driver—you’re a brother on a desperate mission to save your sister, wrongfully imprisoned in a city that swallows souls whole.


As the game’s tagline might echo: “Your taxi is more than a ride—it’s a weapon, a lifeline, and your only way out of the night.”


🌌 What is CyberTaxi: Lunatic Nights?


CyberTaxi: Lunatic Nights is a first-person action combat racing simulator where you take the wheel of a battered cab in Prison City, a sprawling dystopia that feels like a mix between Blade Runner and Taxi Driver.

The game combines:


  • 🚩 Taxi simulator realism – ignition systems, headlights, wipers, fuel management, and even suspension physics.

  • đŸ”« Combat chaos – guns, armor, plasma cannons, and smashing enemy vehicles.

  • 🎭 Story-driven noir – inspired by retro crime films of the 80s and 90s.


This isn’t just about dropping passengers off at Point B—it’s about fighting thugs, dodging bullets, and balancing your cab’s health as the city itself tries to chew you up and spit you out.


🎼 Key Features That Set It Apart

Here’s what makes CyberTaxi: Lunatic Nights stand out in the crowded indie gaming world:


🚖 Full-Scale Taxi Driving Simulator

With fuel mechanics, dynamic weather, cockpit controls, and real-time physics, every ride feels like survival. Forget arcade taxi games—this is hardcore immersion.


đŸ•”ïž Unique Fares & Missions

One minute you’re delivering pizza, the next you’re retrieving keys from a sewage tunnel or hunting a missing cat inside a crumbling church. No two rides are the same.


💣 Weapons, Armor & Taxi Customization

Arm your cab with shields, plasma cannons, and mounted guns—or just reinforce the hull to make it a tank on wheels. Prison City won’t show you mercy, so why should you?


👣 On-Foot Action

Sometimes the mission calls for more than driving. Step out of your cab, explore dangerous districts, and battle your enemies face-to-face.


😡 Customer Mood System

Passengers will judge your driving, combat skills, and survival instincts. Your reputation depends on keeping them alive—and entertained.


đŸ› ïž Why Early Access?
